Careers and Outcomes
Iowa graduates have a 95 percent job/grad school placement rate within six months of graduation. Our Pomerantz Career Center offers multiple resources to help students find internships and jobs.
Asian Languages and Literature graduates pursue careers in education, government, communication, business, and other fields in the United States and beyond. The program also provides an excellent background for advanced study in the humanities or social sciences and in professional schools.
The number of Americans who can speak Asian languages is still small, so many career opportunities exist for individuals trained in these areas.
